  There are several flavors of AMI. If yours gives the option of
entering SETUP by pressing DEL while it boots, then it may be like the
three versions I've used... in which case if 4x1M + 4x256k isn't an
option, then 4x256k+4x1M should be. One of them is, I've used that
configuration for testing.

  Forget the 384k, or use it for shadow ROM if you run DOS. You can make
the system do strange thiongs trying, but I've never seen it work with
over 1MB.
